Grow More Fruit.

We do not believe that it is a mistake
in any dire elton to advise farmers to
grow more fruit. The quantity of small
fruit has been increasing for many
years and been growing better. But
grand as the development of small fruit
has been it has still a grander future be-
fore il. Every year adds to the ranks of
the small fruit culturists and the in
crease of demand will keep pace with
the increased supply. The world has
much to learn about fruit yet. 1t is not
nearly SO universally informed Of the
benefits of fruit consumption as ii will
be. Sometime in the future there win
be two dishes OF fruit on the average
liable and one plate OF meat, instead Of.
as now, two plates Of meat and per-
haps no fruit at ALI and when that time
comes we shall have better health and
even a better state of morals, for it can
be shown that morals and good health
90 together. It is the weak feeling,
the all-goneness which many experience
that leads to the Intoxicating cup in
many instances, and to other vices.
With good health comes good feeling,
and that prompts to the preservation Of
good feeling. which depends upon good

When the day is young and fair,
Birds sing In the dewy afr,
Glinting sunlight everywhere.
Hearts are buOyant, free from care,
Souls are strong to do and dare;
When the day is young and fair.
Sunny hours nave climbed to noon,
Ginning one by one their tune,
All the ways of life are strewn
With its hopes; alas, so soon,
They have withered, could not bloom
In the suItry heat Of noon.
But the evening comes apace,
With its soft iIiumjned face,
Bringing pace to hearts Of grace,
Hearts hal through the dizz race,
Kept on with a steady pace
Hearts Of truth, coos hearts of grace.

A Kidnapped Boy Recovered.

On Feb. 10 last in the morning, Willie
Holley, aged 10 years, left his home in
Bellewood, near Atlanta, Ga, to visit rela
tives in Buckhead district, Fulton county.
While walking along lonely country road
he was accosted by a man named Joe Mat
thews, who suddenly turned a curve in the
road in a wagon. The man talked to the boy
few minutes and Their asked him to get in
his wagon. The boy declined and moved
on, when the man took after him. The boy
ran for dear life, but was overtaken, placed
in the wagon despite his screams and strug-
giles, and driven rapidly in the direction of
Roswell Junction. Near that place lives n
farmer named Marion Donahoo, and to his
p'a,o Willie Foley vast ken. He has bet n
kept on this farm ever since last February
His mother, Mrs. f. H. Holly went almost
wild with grief when she realized that her
boy was lost. She sought him at her rela-
tives in Buckhead, but he could not be
found. She knew nothing of his where
abouts. The disappearance of the child was
,eported to the police headquarters and the
force have been on the lookout for tho lad
ever since his mysterious taking Off.
A few days ago the mother learned, for
the first time, that her son was on the farm
of Marion Donahoo, and she az once notified
Chief Connolly, who appriaed the marshal
of Roswell Junction of that fact, and asked
him to recover the boy.
Thursday Mrs. Holley went up to the
junction. The Marshal summoned 200 citi-
zens, who rode out 10 Marion Douahoos
farm, headed by the Marshal. They got
the boy and returned him TO his mother at
the junction. No more pathetic scene has
ever been witnessed than that which took
place, when the long lost son was restored
to the arms of his fond mother. She was
almost overcome with joy as she pressed
him 10 her bosom.
The kidnapers will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.

CENTRAL DID NOT BUY.
Grovesteen g. Pell Attempt to Force tt
Hand and Fail DiSastrously,

Hand and Fail DiSaStrously.
The New York Times in its Wall street
gossip has the following: Friends of Groves
teen & Pell, meantime, talk of conspiracies,
which they aver were directed against the
broken firm. The bear spectators, they
say, gunned for them, and, taking advan-
tage of temporary weakness, pressed them
to the wall in a common highway
fashion.
Against this idea however, is to be placed
the fact that it has been an open secret IN
railway circles for some time that the rail-
road enterprises of the firm were threaten
ing serious embarrassments in more than
one direction. The II me and Decatur road
it is that has chiefly caused the downfall of
Grovesteen & Pell. This road was projected
on the theory that the rich Georgia Central
system would be obliged to take it in.
And the idea was a good one; if they who
were responsible for it had been able to
hold out to the end it doubtless would have
won. 1t makes natural line for the Geor-
gia Central, and managed as that company
could manage it there would be profits in
its operation. And the disaster of to-day
possibly is but surer step toward the con
summation of the original purpose, only
that doesn't pay the New Workers as once it
promised TO-
1t isn't only New York genius, though,
That gets q hit by this sudden collapse. AT
least one distinguished Southron SURVEYS a
fine crop of blasted hopes. John c. Cal
houn who is a grandson, was deeply inter
ested in the success of the Grovesteen 81 Pell
projects. No, he didn't have any cash in
vested. But he was to be big gamer when
the enterprises were safely fioated. For ne
gotiating services between the Rome and
Decatur and the Georgia Central, he was to
have $4,000 in money, and one third of the
company's capital stock. And alas! that
contract is Off
Somebody asked one of the firm of Grove
steen & Pell some time ago what he thought
of the South in its new era of development
and enterprise, and what were the particu-
lar features of the country through which
his firms Southern railroad ran. The an
swer was a confession that he had not even
been over the route and knew personally
little or nothing about it. There is pre-.
MUM put on failures sometimes Contractors
are all right i'll their way, no doubt, but left
all TO themselves they are not exactly
an economical investment to railroad build
ers. The money which Grovesteen & Pell
have lately been Obliged to raise in Wall
street was 20 meet the demands Of n Geor-
gia railroad builder, who claimed $3.50 900
due on his contracts. If Mr.. Calhoun had
but brought his Georgia Central friends to
terms promptly there would have been
plenty of money to pay all such bills off
hand, and make the Calhoun household al
together happy in the bargain. But as it
is It's otherwise.

DIED IN HIS CHAIR.
Death of the Man Who Witnessed
Thrilling Scenes at Harper's Ferry.

Death of the Man Who Witnessed
Thrilling Scenes at Harper's Ferry.
At Macon, Ga, Friday, Hiram Herring
ton, machinist, was found dead in chair
in his shop on Second street.
Mr. Harrington was in many respects a
wonderful man. He was horn in Spring
field, Mass, and was aged SO years. When
5 years of age his father moved to Harpers
Ferry, in Virginia, in a wagon. When II
years of age he was an orphan. Thrown
upon his own resources, he made a lathe,
and then commenced his life as a machinist
To-day the firing pin used in all breech-
loading guns is his invention When old
enough he was master machinist and
draughtsman of the United States Armory
at Harper's Ferry under Col. Lucas, then
Superintendent of the armory.
In 1859 he passed through, aud was wit
ness to the thrilling scenes of the great in
surrection of John Brown. When in
October of that year Brown captured the
armory, Mr.. Harrington was one of the
few officers who were not made prisoners
and held as hostages. His son, Hubbard
now living in Macon, was a member of the
Floyd Rifles of that place, and was one of
those who did guard duty during those stir
ring times. When Brown was captured
and in the December following was duly
executed, Mr.. Harrington would not attend
the execution.
When the war began Mr. Harrington left
the United States service and entered that
of the Confederate government In 1861 he
was assigned by the latter government to
Richmond, and at the same time received
tempting offer to go to Spain to take charge
of an armory, but he loved the South and
refused it. The Secretary of War assigned
him to Fayetteville, N. c., when
he established the armory there, and in
1868 he was transferred to Macon when
he became master machinist and draughts-
man of the armory, which was located on
Cotton avenue, near Orange street When
the government built the new brick armo-
ry, he began the work of moving into it and
making the discriminating machinery for it
when the war ended. Since that time he
has resided in Macon, and never left the
city, with the exception of one winter he
spent in Baltimore

A RIOT AT DECATUR.
Tho Marshal and Negro Dead, and
MANY Others Wounded.

ATLANTA. GA, Aug. 27-In a bloody
riot at Decatur six miles below here, this
afternoon, two men were killed and one
seriously hurt. The negroes of DeKalb
county had met in the Tabernacle in Deca-
tur, the county site, to have a Sunday
school celebration. Fully 5000 negroes
were in town; many of them were drinking
and boisterous Late in the afternoon, John
Hubbard, big yellow negro, while drunk,
drew a pistol, and brandished it
over his head as he walked about the taber-
nacle. The people were alarmed and re-
quested the Marshal, lobe Hurst, to arrest
Hubbard. Marshal Hurst, assisted by Tom
Chiyers, exMarshal of Decatur, arrested
the negro, and disaimed him, when a crowd
OF negroes rushed upon the officers and took
the man away from them.
THE RIOT.
A warrant was then taken out for Hub
bard, and Marshal Hurst, Mr.. Chivers and
Sheriff Austin proceeded to rearrest Hub
bard, when number of negroes drew pis-
tolls and riot ensued. A negro named
Jake Pritchard ran up behind Marshal
Hurst and shot him in the left side, killing
him instantly, and about the same time
Tom Chivers, his deputy, was danger
ously wounded by bullet
in the breast One negro fired
three shots at Sheriff Austin at short
range, but missed him. The Sheriff shot at
him six times in rapid succession, and he was
afterward found dead in the woods. Pritch-
ard, the murderer of Marshal Hurst, got
away.
POLICE GO TO THE SCENE.
Chief of Police Connolly, of this city, ac-
companied by three good officers, went to
Decatur to aid the Sheriff and posse in find
ing Pritchard. At midnight news reaches
this city that they have located the negro
in house on Phelan's farm, near Decatur,
and tho impression is that he will be hanged
before morning. The riot created the wild
est excitement at Decatur, and tonight the
citizens, armed with shotguns are patrolling
the town.
Two of the rioters, Jack Goldsmith and
Bob Haywood, have been caught and
jailed at Decatur. The Jail is closely
